Have you ever flown in the face of scrutiny to be with the one you love?
Updated | By Jane Linley-Thomas
With the Royal Wedding done and dusted, it got us thinking about what would have happened had the Queen disapproved of this union.
Jane's friend shares her experience of being in London at the time of the Royal Wedding;
The Royal Wedding delighted me no end and signified a new era! This union is a fresh, modern fairytale that celebrates multicultural diversity, fed by love, kindness, and tolerance.

The way Meghan's eyes danced when she looked at Harry during the ceremony made my eyes wet all through the day. The way he smiled at her and the gentle hand hold is something that looks pure and sincere.
I have also had a soft spot for Harry - not only being ginger, but having lost his mom at such a young age. I get the feeling that they will love and protect each other and go on to conduct life-changing work.

I had another little cry when Harry mentioned ahead of the wedding that if his mom were alive, Meghan and her would have been best friends! I felt Diana's pride for her son.
In saying all of this, I still hear the comments of her not being suitable for him as she isn't of the 'right stock', 'that she is inappropriate', and on and on. Comments about her divorce, family life, and race continue to be made.

Yes, we are all entitled to our comments and thoughts, but it does frustrate me that love can't be celebrated without prejudice, judgment, and scrutiny.
Let's also get one thing straight; if the Queen were not happy with this, the relationship would not have gone past a follow-up date, let alone a wedding (a wedding that the entire world got to witness).
Love is love! I just LOVE these two - so much so we threw them a party!
